We spent a week researching and creating projects. The students had a choice between Plymouth or Virginia Colony. They had a rubric they followed and questions to answer. After researching in their books, they moved online using the Safari App. They went to worldbookonline.com/forkids (which my district has paid for and it is great) and factmonster.com. Both of these are safe websites for kids to use for research. After completing all the research, the students chose how they wanted to present the research. The choices included an essay, Keynote (Powerpoint), or Explain everything (movie). The students enjoyed being on the iPads and completing the research!!
The following link is an example of a Keynote Presentation done by a student.
